ESVCE position statement on the use of medications to manage acute phobic states in dogs as an alternative to acepromazine

line with the recommendations of other veterinarian behaviourist and animal behaviour
associations from different countries (e.g.: AVEC, AVEPA-GRETCA). ESVCE members have adopted this position statement on suggested alternatives to the use of acepromazine.
